started a new job recently and im boymoding at work atm. i was expecting it to be cold because most offices ive been in are really cold, but its actually pretty warm. this is a problem because my boobs are getting big enough to be visible under most shirts so ive been wearing a tight bralet, a tshirt, and a hoodie but its too hot so im sitting here sweating wishing i could take off this hoodie but not wanting my coworkers to notice my boobs 😐
anybody have some advice on how to stay cool? im worried im just doomed to suffer or come out at work.
I’ve heard that flannel/plaid shirts are good for hiding curves because of the chessboard pattern on them. There’s even a joke in transmasc circles that compares them to the dazzle camouflage used in ships during WWI.
I can’t confirm they work. I can’t test it myself.
Transmasc(ish) enby chiming in to confirm it works - it’s my self-imposed work uniform because bras make me dysphoric af and commute time + work hours + summer heat makes binding for work untenable most days.
Wide leg pants also help to hide lower body curves if that’s also an issue.
is it actually cool though? my experience with flannels has always been that theyre pretty warm. maybe not as warm as a hoodie though?
You can get flannel-like button ups that are made from very thin, breathable cotton materials and layer a dark cotton t-shirt underneath. It’s not perfect but it’s better than a hoodie during the summer months
+1 to this, the Plaid Shirt Of Plausible Deniability™️ works for all genders
Alas, that makes what makes flannels such a double-edged sword. It’s an iconic sapphic aesthetic I see with other women, but then I put them on and I look way more butch than they do. Or maybe that’s just dysphoria talking idk. 😅
But yes flannels are great for boymoding.
